Some of you might be very tired of seeing boots here, especially as the weather is turning so beautiful and summery all over the country, and you are all psychologically--if not physically--packing up your wintery-weather gear. But there's a very good reason to be thinking of boots right now--excellent end-of-the-season sales!

I have been looking off and on for my ideal pair of boots this whole winter. But, since "winter" out here in California means rain--and we have not even had much of that this year--I managed to make do with regular shoes this year. But just a few weeks ago, I found my ultimate pair of Steampunk dress boots! And because I am such a tease, I'm not going to share them just yet. Actually, it's because I am having a hard time finding them online--but when I finish researching them and show them off, you are going to like them!

In the meantime, as I have been doing more research into the availability of my new dream boot, I have been finding lots of other excellent boots at great prices. Of course, I have to share.

So, once again, a selection of boots from 6pm. All have steampunk potential. All have something about them I like. All are deeply discounted. This time I am going the lazy route, and am not linking the individual boot styles--if you like them, just cut and paste the name into the 6pm search box!

A Note from Minnie Zephie

I used to write about Steampunk on my home blog, but recently decided to give those posts their own special place. In my mind, this blog is like that big old dusty steamer trunk in a grandmother's walk-up attic, shabby and well-used, housing tattered finery and any number of odd bits and pieces. It feels a little secret, a little melancholy, but mostly exhilarating, and opening the trunk wide is like opening a door to an equally musty and unused spot in one's imagination. My other blog is where I live. This blog is where I escape.
